Chapter 178: Wings!

Chapter 178 Wings!

With a rumbling noise, the helicopter was about to leave Qianlong Mountain!

“Since you are already here, why not stay a bit longer?”

A cold voice resonated in the air. Although one could not determine where the voice came from, it was extremely clear.

Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from.

They saw a man dressed in white walking over slowly. He carried a wooden sword with him. He had a handsome face with a pair of cold, indifferent eyes.

Chu Xun had finally showed up.

“Chu Xun, you are late for the party. Your guests have already left.” The grade-six Grandmaster said as he looked at Chu Xun from the helicopter.

“That is okay. I never liked big crowds.” Chu Xun said calmly. One could not detect any emotion from his voice.

“Well, well... If it isn’t Chu the Devil himself... Only you can remain calm and collected under this kind of circumstance and I respect you for that.” That grade-six Grandmaster joked in a mystical voice, “But you can stop pretending already. We both know that you and Heaven Tao Sect are enemies for a lifetime. Neither of us will stop fighting against each other until one is eliminated for good. I bet you can’t wait to kill me after I have made a mess at the opening banquet for your manor. Am I right?”

“That is right.” Chu Xun replied as he looked up with a gentle smile.

“Thank you for being honest... But can you really kill me? I may not be able to break your magic formation, but I bet you can’t do anything to me, either. However, I interrupted your banquet and chased away your guests. I can say I am the winner for this round.” The grade-six Grandmaster said as he chuckled proudly. He was glad to make Chu Xun experience any form of loss.

“Is everyone in Heaven Tao Sect as arrogant as you?” Chu Xun asked.

“What do you mean?” The grade-six Grandmaster from Heaven Tao Sect asked in return. He was starting to feel a little bit uneasy.

“Are you really so confident that I can’t take your life?” Chu Xun asked, as a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The grade-six Grandmaster laughed and said with disdain, “I know you are strong, Chu the Devil, but you can’t touch me unless you grow a pair of wings right now.”

“I don’t need wings to reach you.” Chu Xun replied calmly. His eyes were filled with confidence and contempt.

Once Chu Xun finished speaking, he made his move without giving the opponent any time to reply.

He only took one single step, yet everyone at the top and the foot of the mountain opened their eyes and mouths wide in disbelief.

What did they see?

Chu Xun was only stepping on thin air, yet it looked as if he was stepping on solid ground. He went higher with each step, as if he was walking up a staircase.

“Chu Xun can walk on thin air...” Everyone was dumbfounded.

The grade-six presbyter from Heaven Tao Sect was stunned for a moment. He only became alert when Chu Xun was less than twenty meters away from their helicopter.

“Leave now!” He shouted in a terrified voice.

Chu Xun was using a technique known as Acrobatic Jumping. It could help warriors lighten their bodies while they were moving. At the Great Ascension stage, one could move in the air with the speed of lightning. It was as good as flying at a low altitude.

According to historical records, a person in Human King Realm can stay in the air for a short while. Only those in Human-Immortal Realm — which is above Human King Realm — can travel in the air.

But which category was Chu Xun under exactly? He can walk normally in the air that was unbelievable!

Chu Xun chose a stable standing position in midair. His wooden sword let out a faint cry and rays of golden light wrapped around its body. With a horizontal swing of his sword, Chu Xun unleashed several streaks of golden Sword Qi that disappeared in one split second.

Swoosh!

It was the sound of a sharp knife cutting through a leaf.

Everyone’s eyes opened even wider, as if their eyeballs were about to fall out.

They could not believe their eyes — one of the helicopters had been cut in the middle by Chu Xun’s sword. Its two parts fell from the sky.

Boom!

A remaining part of that helicopter exploded upon hitting the magic formation. Flames and heavy smoke once again covered the sky.

The grade-six Grandmaster from Heaven Tao Sect was so scared and shocked that he felt his soul leaving his body. He then screamed at the pilot and urged him to retreat.

Chu Xun’s expression remained cold and indifferent. He swung his sword again and unleashed another round of Sword Qi.

Swoosh!

The Sword Qi cut through the body of the helicopter like a knife cutting through tofu. The spinning propellers broke apart under the impact of Sword Qi and sparks flew everywhere.

The helicopter was cut in the middle and fell from the sky.

The skinny, dark-faced grade-six Grandmaster showed himself before everyone for the first time.

The helicopter was falling at an extremely high speed, so he had to jump out.

He was a grade-six Grandmaster after all, so he formed a layer of protective energy around his body using his Internal Breath. He tried to control his falling speed so the impact upon landing would not be too great.

Boom!

The debris from the helicopter hit the magic formation and exploded upon contact.

At this moment, Chu Xun also fell from the sky.

Chu Xun laughed bitterly deep inside. With his cultivation now, he was not able to fly yet. He merely used a small technique called Floating Technique, so he could remain in the air for a short while with the power of his magic formation. He applied this technique onto a fake Spirit Stone, and its energy was being drained away every second. If he was using a real Spirit Stone, he could remain in the air for at least half an hour, yet fake Spirit Stones would turn into powder within a mere five minutes.

Two figures fell from a hundred meters at an extremely high speed.

One of them was Chu Xun.

The other one was the grade-six Grandmaster from Heaven Tao Sect.

Despite trying his best to control his balance and falling speed, he still could not move in the air. Below him was the debris of the helicopter which was already covered in flames, yet he could not do anything, except to fall into the flames with a scream. The protective energy prevented the flames from burning him alive, yet the extreme heat still tortured him.

He thought he could fall onto the colorful water wall, yet he fell right through it to the ground. He was so terrified that his face lost all its color.

His original plan was to fall onto the water wall, then escape amidst the flames and heavy smoke. He never thought he would fall right through it, so he started panicking at this unexpected turn of events. However, he was the opponent of Chu the Devil, and Chu Xun surely would not let him off that easily.

Despite controlling his falling speed with all his strength, he still fell onto the ground within only a couple of breaths.

With a loud “boom”, the tiles on the plaza were smashed into pieces. The ground shook and fragments of the tiles flew all over the place.

...

The grade-six Grandmaster from Heaven Tao Sect coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from and they saw a giant pit on the ground that was formed upon his landing. He laid in the pit in an extremely weak state. His clothes had been shredded into pieces and the protective energy around his body had dispersed as well.

Boom!

The entire Qianlong Mountain shook violently. An area in the distance exploded and a terrifying crack appeared on the ground. The air was filled with dust for a time.

Chu Xun had finally landed.

With great anticipation, everyone looked to the direction where he landed.

Amidst the dust that covered the entire sky, a figure walked out. His white clothes were not even tainted and there was a ripple effect all around him.

Everyone could not believe what they were seeing.

Especially the grade-six Grandmaster from Heaven Tao Sect. His face was filled with bitterness. It was only now that he realized the giant gap between his and Chu Xun’s strength.

He tried to move his body, yet his veins at the forehead throbbed violently and he was in immense pain. He let out a bitter laugh. He knew most of the bones in his body were already shattered.

“Does Chen Wuhui know that you are here?” Chu Xun walked over and asked him calmly.

The Grandmaster shuddered at his question.

Chu Xun’s cold expression grew even stronger. He said, “Even the fiercest tiger would not eat its son alive. I always thought the Master of Heaven Tao Sect is an ambitious and respectful figure, yet I guess I gave him too much credit. In order to be free from my control, he even sent people to kill his own son. Such an evil person does not deserve to live!”

Others did not understand what he was talking about, yet they could sense it was about some serious matter.

“I am sure all of you here know about the grievances between myself and Heaven Tao Sect. They held my parents as prisoners, and as their son, I will do whatever it takes to rescue them. You might not know, however, that I have captured Chen Wuhui’s son, Chen Shao. Knowing that I have his son, he still ordered his men to bomb Qianlong Mountain, for he knew his son would die if his mission succeeds. In that way, I would have nothing to use to manipulate him, and he would be able to do whatever he wants. A month later, I will visit Xuanji Mountain. He will surely use my parents as hostages...”

Everyone felt chills creeping up their backs. “This Chen Wuhui is evil indeed. He did not deserve to be a father. No, he did not deserve to live at all.
